Click to play videoNew Delhi: After the crowd turnout at Mumbai's Mahim locality to ataste "sweet" water of the Arabian Sea, thousands of people on Sunday night thronged temples across Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana and Punjab to watch deities of Goddess Durga, God Shiva and Ganesha claimed to be drinking milk offered to them by devotees.
The first such incident was reported from a Durga temple in Bareilly. After the news spread, thousands gathered at the temple carrying buckets of milk along with bowls and spoons, to appease the God.
The last time such an incident was reported was in 1995, involving Ganesha idols.
A large number of people queued up outside temples in Mathura and nearby holy cities of Vrindavan and Govardhan in UP, Vadodara in Gujarat and Kurukshetra in Haryana and Ludhiana in Punjab following claims that the deities are taking milk offered to them.
"A cup of milk was offered to Durga Ji in Rama Nand Ashram Goverdhan on Sunday evening and she was not only pleased but has drank all. It is a good omen and the future of the country is bright", noted saint Mahamandaleshwar Krishna Das Kanchan Maharaj said in Mathura.
